      Based on the registration applications, I think getting banned is a lot less common than people think. Most people are checking out the fediverse because of other problems on reddit, whether its the ads, bots, monetization related changes, hateful content, privacy concerns, manipulation, trump related concerns, etc

      We do get the occasional “I’m here because I got banned”, but the vast majority is “I’m curious about what this place is like”.

      Now isn’t hard evidence on its own, but I’d also bet that when the first category joins, they’re often looking for a place to vent about their ban. When the second category joins, they rarely announce their newness.

    Does this feel like lawful good to chaotic evil to anyone else?

    And I swapped when they killed my favorite app.

      Is it the ordering of the options? I just put them in top to bottom, left to right (except the free space) as I thought of them.

      I started to do a 5x5 one but the text ended up being too small to read, and I couldn’t think of that many things to fill it in with.

    none of these say anything about moving due to privacy concerns and I feel like thats a huge market here.

      Middle left.

      Also, the fediverse is, in some ways, worse for privacy because of the types of information that need to be shared for federation to work.

        Middle left specifically mentions reddit, I’m not here because of anything to do with reddit. I’m here because I prefer open source platforms that preserve more privacy than proprietary ones that will eventually start asking for gov’t ID.

      Tbf, the fediverse isn’t private at all and holds no pretense that it is. Yeah your instance isn’t selling your data or doing the creepy profile-mapping that meta does, but it’s important to be aware that this is very much a public forum

      The 3rd party app-ocalypse made me create an account here but it was the reddit ads that eventually made me quit the Reddit app. At some point I realised more of my feed was taken up by autoplay video ads than actual content. The slow decline in intelligent conversations really accelerated after they killed the apps too.

      So far I like it here, there’s less content and that can be a bit disappointing but it’s probably healthier that I can’t scroll endlessly. It’s also nice to feel like your posts don’t get buried under a torrent of other content the moment you make them.

        I agree about the content and really think that it is healthier this way, too. But I also think that the content here is somehow less negative. And as you say, posts do not get buried. I am way more engaged here because of that and had a lot more interactions.

        I dont know if it’s bots or culture or whatever but the comments on reddit just slid into repetitive blither over a handful of years. This is the internet so I dont expect all interactions to be thought-provoking prose, but I do expect people to at least have their own thoughts. Here on Lemmy, for example, I can find that good ol’ home grown, individualistic blither. Just the way the internet intended.

    Bottom right, but I did get back on reddit. Their IP bans are clown shoes!

    But then I started liking it here and found some subs that have decent interaction so I stayed…
